Font size in reports changes on its own, at times

[BroomerEd]

There seems to be two problems with the font size:

1. When I open a preview of a report on my screen, it sometimes comes up in a humongous font size. If I re-run the preview of the report it usually opens in the proper font size.

2. Even if the font size of the preview of the report on the screen looks fine, when I create a Snapshot file to email it to the recipients, the font size can enlarge itself to the point of ridiculousness.

For example, a report title is set to Arial 20 and when the "humongous" problem occurs, it prints at about Arial 127.

What happens when you print the report? Is it still [bold]humongous[/bold]?

I'm sure you checked the properties to see if "Can Grow/Shrink" is checked?

If it's not that problem, it will take someone more experienced than me to give advice.

Thanks for your reponse.

When the print looks humongous, it prints humongous.

I've checked off the auto resize option to no and it didn't do diddly.

Again, thanks.

possible print set up "fit"?

Does this happen for all fonts and all possible printers set as defaults? How about all users?

Thanks Michael, I'm not sure where to put the fit command. I've tried auto resize yes and no and it hasn't done anything.

Thanks Dhookom, this programme runs on my computer alone. I run the reports then email them to the user using the snapshot format.

It is an intermitant problem and is quite annoying if I don't check the "snapshot"ed report before I send it.

BroomerEd,
Did you ever solve this problem? I am experiencing exactly the same problem.
